    I did a scan of a NT 4.0 SP6a server and found the following
    
    iad1 1030/tcp BBN IAD
    
    I found the following during a search on the web "I think you mean you found
    these in the /etc/services file, right? I seriously doubt you're seeing
    traffic on these ports. The presence of these in this file is to document
    the services, and to support 'getservbyname()' -- it doesn't mean your
    system is supporting these services. the BBN (Bolt, Beranek and Newman)
    Interface Access Device, which operates as a bridge/router between IP, X.25,
    asynch links, etc."
    
    Can someone help me understand what is going on?
    
    Thank you
    John van Meter
